  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Water 5-Minute Showers
    Name some of the human activities impacting the health of water systems, both locally (your watershed) and globally (freshwater and oceans). What can you do to improve the health of water systems?

    Brushing your teeth and not shutting off the water, use of plastics resulting in microplastic in the water. Eliminating plastic would stop the addition of microplastics but we need to find a way to filter it out of our water.

    Thought it would get easier, but the 5 minute showers got harder. I'm definitely slipping with that one.
